The History of the Mob in Las Vegas- This Friday Afternoon

 Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel and George Raft

 Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal

 

From Guy McAfee to Bugsy Siegel to Moe Dalitz to Frank Rosenthal and
Tony "The Ant" Spilotro, the Mob has had a hold on the imaginations of
most people who love "classic" Las Vegas.

This Friday I will be giving a  talk that will cover not only the
historical points but also talk about the difference between guys like
Benny Binion and Moe Dalitz and "Lefty" and "The Ant".

Also, I will have autographed copies of my book "Las Vegas: 1905-1965"
for those interesting in purchasing one or more!

I'd love to get a head count (even an approximation) so I can be sure
that we have enough chairs! You can email me or post here, either way will work!

3:30 pm Friday, June 5th

El Cortez Upstairs

Hope to see you there!

I am currently editing an annotated edition of The Big Sleep and would love to use the photo of Bugsy and Guy at the top of this page. Do you have information on obtaining the rights?

thank you!
